Considerable excitement was
created on our streets Wednesday
afternoon by the report that natural
gas had been struck in the we'll
being bored on the farm of Mr..
James A. Murray, below the city,
and that it had rushed out with
such force as to blow down the
derrick. At once there was a rush
in that direction, when it was found
that the workmen had poured coal
cinders into the well to pack the
iron casing at the bottom to pre-
vent water from rising in it, and
had thus stopped up the bottom
of the casing. While engaged in
bailing out the well with the sand
bucket, the water which had COL
leCted in the bottom Of the hole
forced the casing out Of position
and caused it to rise, until it struck
the top Of the derrick, 70 feet in the
air. The incident caused conster-
nation among the workmen for a
time, but as soon as they dis
covered what was the matter the
casing was forced back and the
drill again started. They are still
pecking away day and night. and
it is to be hoped they will soon
find gas in paying quantities.
Little Bessie, infant daughter of
Mr.. Claude Buckley died Thurs

illness of thirty.six hours with
acute laryngitis. The remains
were brought to this city yesterday

family lot in the Cemetery.

For spring, the nice days and Henley's Suits,
Pants and Spring Overcoats. The grandest,
the most stylish and the cheapest. consistent
with the quality, that ever came into this
or any other town or county in this part of
the state. My lowest prices on pants for
this season will be 800. IL you want
pair of pants for less than 81, 60 to the
ready made clothing house, where you will
get better pair than any tailor can furnish
you for less then that money. My
highest priced pants are S14.00. Come and
look at the goods. Do not be bulldozed into
the belief that you can get anything that is
first class for less than it is worth. Tailor
ing Is no exception to the rule. a man that
is capable of doing first class work cannot
and will not work for less than his labor is
worth. Bear that iyg mind. On the other
hand, man that is not able to do first class
work must work for low price, else no will
not get any thing to do. The people of Paw
Paw were long pestered with cheap tailors.
DO not encourage them any more. The
world is advancing in every art and science:
the people around us are progressing in all
that tends to make sweet to man the burdens
of life itself, and bear de mind that nowhere
arc those strides more manifest than at

Clear the Track.

Two runaways in one day, or rather in one
night. On Thursday evening last, colt
attached 10 road cart and driven by Ed.
Longwell, undertook to climb into the cart
tail end foremost, and Ed. landed in the
road because of lack of room in the cart for
both himself and horse at the same time.
The latter ran down Main street, colliding
with Dave Showermans carriage, which
came out of the smash considerably demor
allied, and also ran into Mr.. A. Lewis buggy,
iniuring it somewhat. 1t was quite an ex-
citing time for few minutes, but no one
was hurt.
That same night or rather about one
o'clock the next morning Mr.. George Brooks
returned from the dance at Lake Park, where
he had been with one of Paw Paws fair
damsels and Mat Longwells team. George
had been dancing all the evening and was
tired enough not to run and didn't think but
his team was as inclined as himself to keep
quiet, and so LETT them standing while he
escorted the lady into the house. Taking
advantage of the opportunity, they the
horses-ran away and, after careering around
town awhile. overturned the carriage on Kal
amazoo street, broke loose from it and
brought up standing in yard near by.
Little damage was done, bat next time
George will hitch his team when he goes to
the house with his girl

Company Reunion.

The second animal reunion of Co &C" Sd
Mich. Cav, will be held at Bangor, on Thurs
day and Friday. September 1st and 2d. Let
all the members of the company bear the
date in mind and arrange their business so
as to be present. For genuine enjoyment,
no reunion can compare with a company
reunion. Should this notice meet the eye of
any member of the company who did not re-
ceive personal invitation to attend the last
years reunion, he should Immediately send
his address to 1st Sergeant l.. S. Russell of
Bangor, or to the editor of this paper. The
officers of the company desire to obtain the
address of every surviving comrade and to
send each one a personal invitation to meet
with the company and renew old associa-
tions and friendships.

Surprised and Captured.

Last Monday evening was the time for the
regular meeting of Brodhead post, O.. A. r..
Considerable surprise was manifested by
some of the members at the unusually large
attendance. Subsequent investigation dis
closed the fact that nearly every member had
received a suggestion from his wife that it
WAS the regular evening for the meeting of
the post, and those who showed any disposi-
ton to remain at home had been induced to
attend by some ingenious suggestion or
other, so that there were very few absentees.
The usual business, including a muster-i in,
was transacted and an adjournment had at
about nine o'clock.
Scarcely had the gavel of Commander
Spicer announced the close of the meeting,
when it was discovered that Mrs. Ira Hubert
was in the room Just how she came TO be
there was mystery but, being so petite it
was thought she might have crept in
through some unnoticed crevice. She seemed,
however, to fully understand her mission
and at once marshaled the boys in line and
headed procession 10 the hall below.
where was found room full of the wives
and daughters of the veterans and table
spread with a magnificent banquet at which
the boys were Immediately seated and, minis
tered to by the fair ladies', they pro-
ceeded TO impair their digestion in the most
approved style.
To say that they were surprised but feebly
expresses the real fact. They were not only
surprised, but they were out-generaled, sur
rounded, captured and compelled to surren-
der and throw themselves upon the tender
mercies of their fair captors, unconditional
surrender being, under the circumstances,
the only military maneuver they could sue
cessfully execute.
Having tested their capacity to its fullest
and almost unlimited extent, the vanquished
exchanged places with the victors and as
sumed the role of walters while the ladies'
partook of refreshments, after which an ad-
journment was had to the armory, where the
order of exercises was changed from physical
reireshment TO intellectual. These exercises,
of course, were entirely impromptu, but were
highly entertaining and interesting. Like
the maiden who, when her lover stole a kiss,
exclaimed, "Oh. you scared me :" and who,
after waiting awhile, meekly suggested,
"Scare me again. the universal sentiment
of the prisoners of war seemed to be, "Cap-
ture US again.
IL was nearly midnight when, with three
cheers for the ladies, the meeting adjourned,
all feeling that the occasion had been most
interesting and enjoyable one and one long
to be remembered.

The Michigan State Press Association is in
session this week at Port Huron. No doubt
the meeting will be interesting, as several
matters of great interest to the fraternity
will be up for consideration. We should have
been pleased TO be present but, on account of
business engagements, were unable to attend.
Dust flew terribly throughout the business
portion of town for few days. 1t WAS all
owing to Mats hogs. They were penned
up where they could run beneath the flume
to the big MILL and they liked their quarters
so well that they rooted away the foundations
and allowed about forty feet of the bottom
of the flume to drop out, and thus spoiled the
facilities for filling the sprinkling cart.
The fire company was called out last We'd
nesday afternoon to extinguish fire that
was burning in the sawdust heaps near
the railroad track, which had been ignited by
sparks from the locomotive, and which was
endangering the railroad buildings and other
property in that vicinity. couple of
streams were thrown on the burning mass
for an hour or so, serving to wet it down
pretty thoroughly but not wholly extinguish-
ing the fire, which it was found to be almost
impossible to do.

skipped with tb. Mare.

Some six years ago, John Sage of Bloom
ingdale, adopted a young lad whose name, at
that time, was Jake Israel, but he was after
wards christened Johnny Sage, by which
name he has since been known. On Thurs
day last the boy, who is now about thirteen
years old, came mp missing as did, also,
bay mare belonging to his foster father.
The mare was subsequently found but the
boy was not. Mr.. Sage would be pleased to
receive any information concerning him.
He is of dark complexion, has dark eyes
and dark hair roughly shingled, was dressed
in new clothes and wore small trimmed hat
Mr.. S. says the boy has heretofore conducted
himself properly and he thinks his miscon-
duct must have been owing to the persuasion
of some older and more responsible party.

He Forgot.

Not long since, a gentleman who lives in
this village and owns farm just out in the
country, arose in the early morning, shoul-
dered his AK and hoe. went TO his farm and
did hard days labor. On returning he
noticed that the stores and business houses
were all closed and, on inquiring the cause,
was told that it was Sunday. Being good,
christian gentleman and a member of the
church in good standing, he was very much
mortified and scandalized TO think that he
had been farming all day, instead of attend
ing church according to his usual custom.
Never mind, uncle, il will never be laid up
against you.

The Diamond.

The game of base ball on the fair ground
last Friday afternoon between the Otsegos
and the Paw Paws was one of the best and
most interesting games ever played in this
place and was won by the home club. the
score standing eleven to seven.
The game was called promptly at three
o'clock and the visitors sent TO bat. When
the side was retired they had two scores to
their credit In their half of first, Lee, I.
Clancy, Briggs and j. Clancy ratified the
nails in their shoes on the home plate Civ
ing the Paw Paws four tallies.
The I'd, Sd and 4th innings resulted In one
run, two runs and goose egg for the visi-
tors and three big ciphers for the home club
thus giving the latter lead of one.
In the fifth Otsego scored two points, while
the Paw Paws repeated their performance in
the first, f. Clancy, Briggs, Cole and j.
Clancy making the circuit of the bases and
adding four scores to the count of the home
club and again taking the lead from this
point, at which the game was won, as the
remaining four innings were a succession OF
blanks for the visitors, as was the 9th and
7th for the home club
In the Sth, however, our boys found the
ball again, f. Clancy, Briggs and Cole again
reaching the plate in safety. 1t was in this
inning that Frank covered himself with
glory by helping the ball over left field fence
for home run, the only one of the game.
Cole did great credit TO himself making two
two base hits fetching in two men on the
first and one on the second hit. Jim Clancy
played remarkably fine game behind the
bat. nipping three foul tips and two foul balls.
The boys all played a very good game.
